Chapter 361: Chapter 361: My Husband Really Is a Good Househusband

At the same time, Zhou Ziqiao had just hung up An Yan’s call.

They had always kept in touch and hadn’t hidden anything from each other; An Yan knew everything about her.

An Yan gave her some pregnancy advice to keep her in good spirits and invited her to attend the final of the Golden Scissors Fashion Design Competition.

This competition was held every year, but tickets were hard to come by, and money couldn’t buy them.

However, the thought of going with Mu Shaoze made her hesitate, but since An Yan said it was her first time attending the final, she found it hard to refuse.

Zhou Ziqiao saw a new message on WeChat, opened it, and it was a photo sent by Mu Shaoze.

She knew Mu Shaoze excelled with computers, so it wasn’t surprising that he managed to get himself off her blacklist; manipulating WeChat was a breeze for him as well.

She was very familiar with the sandwich in the photo; he used to make it for her often, and she remembered that the first time he made it, the eggs were either burnt or had a sugary core.

Seeing the text on it, she furrowed her brow.

He was planning to go to her family’s company today; was he preparing to strike at her father?

She understood; he wanted to chew through her parents, a pair of tough bones, before coming to nibble on her, the little brittle bone.

A knock on the door rang out, and Mother Zhou called her down for breakfast.

Zhou Ziqiao replied and went out, heading to the dining room with Mother Zhou.

Father Zhou was scrolling through his phone, smiling as soon as he saw them come in.

After Zhou Ziqiao sat down, she asked, "Has the company been having issues with network security recently?"

Father Zhou nodded, "There are loopholes in the network security, and nobody in the tech department is up to par."

Zhou Ziqiao hummed, "Mu Shaoze will come to the company to see you today."

Father Zhou was drinking soy milk and suddenly coughed violently, "What does he want with me? I have nothing to say to him!"

Zhou Ziqiao pursed her lips, "Mu Shaoze is very skilled with computers."

Father Zhou scoffed, indicating his disbelief.

He didn’t say much else, finished his breakfast first, and left.

Mother Zhou asked, "Qiaoqiao, how good can Doggie Mu be with computers?"

Zhou Ziqiao thought about it; she hadn’t asked before, but she had seen Mu Shaoze logging into a dark web with a notable amount of points, apparently second-ranked.

She figured out that the so-called dark web implied that Mu Shaoze was a hacker.

"He must be pretty good."

Mother Zhou blurted out, "Then the baby must be really smart."

Zhou Ziqiao: "..."

When Father Zhou arrived at Wansheng, the tech department was already in chaos because a hacker was attacking their company viciously.

As the manager of the tech department reported, Father Zhou exploded in anger, "What are these idiots good for!"

The manager wiped the sweat from his forehead, "I had already put out calls for skilled people yesterday, and some came today, but none were extraordinary."

Knock knock knock!

Father Zhou’s voice mixed with impatience and annoyance, "Come in."

Mu Shaoze pushed the door open, his lips curling slightly, "Father-in-law."

Father Zhou: "..."

The manager eyed Mu Shaoze, the legendary nearby Old Wang who stole the bride?

He truly looked handsome and charming, fiercely impressive!

Mu Shaoze said, "The intranet was invaded, but I can handle it."

The manager looked at him, then at Father Zhou, "Chairman Zhou, why not give it a try?"

Remembering Zhou Ziqiao’s words, Father Zhou stood up, "Then let’s see."

Soon, a group of them went to the tech department, where everyone was frantic as the firewall was breached and data started to be downloaded.

Father Zhou looked at Mu Shaoze, "Didn’t you say you could handle it?"

Mu Shaoze nodded, "Father-in-law, rest assured."

Father Zhou: "..."

He leaned close to Mu Shaoze, whispering in a voice only the two could hear, "Kid, don’t push your luck."

Mu Shaoze, "Yes, father-in-law."

Father Zhou: "..."

As data neared a 98% load, everyone was dripping with sweat.

Mu Shaoze then sat at a computer, his fingers flying over the keyboard at a dazzling speed.

Rows of codes appeared on the black screen, making one’s heart race.

The 98% download bar seemed to freeze, no longer progressing, and soon the firewall was reestablished, the attacker’s information was extracted, and even their employer’s information, belonging to Wansheng’s rival company, was uncovered.

While everyone breathed a sigh of relief, they also began cheering in celebration.

The manager shook Mu Shaoze’s hand excitedly, "Wansheng’s son-in-law, we owe you big time! Otherwise, our data would have been stolen and infected with viruses, and the consequences would be unimaginable!"

Father Zhou’s lips twitched, What’s this ’Wansheng’s son-in-law’?

He hadn’t acknowledged it, so how had he become his son-in-law?

At that moment, the manager didn’t realize his slip and continued laughing and talking with the staff.

Father Zhou looked at Mu Shaoze, "Can you guarantee it won’t be invaded again?"

Mu Shaoze blinked, considering that as long as An Yan didn’t act, no one else could break in.

He nodded, "Father-in-law, please rest assured."

Father Zhou, unable to lose his temper in front of everyone, with a stern face, said, "Come with me to the office."

The two men sat facing each other, having a man-to-man talk.

Mu Shaoze talked about his past misdeeds and also sought to undergo scrutiny from Zhou’s parents, hoping they would give him a chance to properly take care of and protect Zhou Ziqiao and the child.

Father Zhou thought for a moment, and spoke honestly.

"If Qiaoqiao hadn’t been pregnant, he definitely wouldn’t have agreed to Mu Shaoze. But now that they have a child between them, things are different. No one wants their daughter to raise a child alone in the future. Although it’s not uncommon, he still hopes that the child has a father and his daughter has a husband."

Father Zhou talked at length with Mu Shaoze, and what struck Mu the most was this statement, "Her mother and I will pass away one day, and we only have this one daughter. All we want is for her to be happy. If you can’t make her happy, tell us early. Don’t hurt her, just return her to us so we can protect her."

Mu Shaoze repeatedly assured that he would treat Zhou Ziqiao well.

Only then did Father Zhou agree to let him through Zhou Family’s door. Still, whether he could reconcile with Zhou Ziqiao would depend on his behavior.

As he was leaving, Father Zhou asked, "What exactly is your identity?"

Mu Shaoze did not conceal it. "Hacker S."

Although Father Zhou was not involved in the cyber field, he had heard of the famous S—the world’s second-ranked hacker.

Just when Mu Shaoze thought Father Zhou would praise him, he just heard Father Zhou ask, "Then do you know who the first is?"

Mu Shaoze felt a sting, but since this was going to be his future family, he didn’t conceal that either. "It’s my sister, Mu Anyan."

Father Zhou went from being speechless with shock to praising Anyan excessively, making him, the perennial second-place, feel almost invisible.

Kind of emo!

The praised individual felt her ears heat up. Anyan glanced at her watch—it was already ten o’clock at night.

She picked up her phone and saw that Fu Shiyan had messaged her an hour ago, not long after she had spoken with Zhou Ziqiao.

She dialed the man’s number.

"Ayan."

"Are you done with work?"

"Just finished, sorry, I just saw your call."

"Come to the window."

Anyan had a guess about what was happening. She stood up and walked to the window, where she saw Fu Shiyan standing by a car downstairs, holding a bouquet of roses.

A smile tugged irresistibly at the corners of Anyan’s lips. "Fool, how long have you been waiting?"

"Not long, just two hours."

"Wait for me, I’m coming down now."

After hanging up, Anyan started packing up her things.

Hearing a knock, she said, "Come in."

Ruan Qingqing pushed the door open. "Anyang, are you getting ready to leave?"

"Ayan has been waiting for me for a while. I’ve finished everything. The dress is already altered. I’m flying to Country C the day after tomorrow."

"That’s great, our Anyan is the best, truly the world’s number one. But you’re leaving the day after tomorrow?" Ruan Qingqing seemed surprised.

Anyan shut down her computer. "I’m going early to see Ziqiao; I haven’t seen her for a while and I miss her. You guys can just come with Su Yue later."

"Sure."

"You should head back early too."

"Right," Ruan Qingqing glanced at the time. "I can still catch the last subway."

Anyan asked, "What about your car?"

Ruan Qingqing sighed lightly. "Don’t ask, it got scratched up, had to send it to the 4S shop for repairs. Tried checking the surveillance, but it was broken, just my bad luck."

Anyan patted her shoulder. "Your car either gets hit or scratched; maybe you should just get a new one. Come with me, Ayan and I will drop you off."

Ruan Qingqing shook her head. "I’m not going to be a third wheel."

"Hurry up, don’t dawdle."

"Really, sorry."

"We’re close friends; saying that makes it awkward."

Ruan Qingqing packed up quickly and left the design studio with Anyan.

When Fu Shiyan saw Anyan, he strode over and presented the flowers to her. "Do you like it?"

Anyan’s smile was radiant. "I love it, thank you, Ayan."

Fu Shiyan gently caressed her cheek. "Let’s go."

Anyan looked back at Ruan Qingqing. "Qingqing’s car got scratched, let’s drop her off."

Fu Shiyan glanced at Ruan Qingqing, then nodded slightly.

The three of them got into the car, with Anyan sitting in the passenger seat and Ruan Qingqing in the back.

Throughout the ride, Fu Shiyan and Anyan chatted and laughed about little amusing stories.

Ruan Qingqing sat silently, listening to their conversation without intruding.

After dropping her off, Ruan Qingqing bent over to bid them farewell.

Anyan lowered her window. "Head back, Qingqing."

Ruan Qingqing nodded. "I’ll watch you leave, then I’ll go. Be careful on the road."

Knowing her stubbornness, Anyan rolled up the window, and the car drove away.

Only when the tail lights had merged with the night did Ruan Qingqing turn and leave.

Fu Shiyan glanced at Anyan. "Why doesn’t she ride with someone else?"

"You think she’s deliberately hitchhiking?"

"Not really, I’m just very chivalrous. I maintain a distance of more than three meters with any woman other than my wife and close relatives. Obviously, we were too close earlier."

Anyan laughed. "My husband is really a good, domesticated man!"

Fu Shiyan smiled. "Didn’t they say to guard against fire, theft, and close female friends?"

Anyan shrugged. "If there’s something wrong with Qingqing, then I definitely need to go to the hospital to get my eyes checked."

"I won’t say it next time. Is there a reward? Tonight, it’s just us two again."

Anyan teased him with a glance. "Want a reward every night? How about I reward you with a little daughter?"

Fu Shiyan: "..."
